Look Closer - MORTEN, David Tort

Tune in and avert your eyes to the blank tele-screen

They’re watching you sleep, telling you to eat

What could be soylent green

Now, now, now look away and go back to bed

They will get what they need

When we sleep, work, and play

When we consume and obey

'Cause we are all born in to a controlled mindset

God-money makes a death threat on ethics

Governed by greed and a stale routine

Can we just justify the means if we’re…

Plugged in, tuned out?

We all need to wake up 'cause we’ve been

Detached for too long

We need to deprogram from

Shifting with the public eye

We have a right to question why

See through the lies

Re-sensitize, and look closer

Get schooled, get married, get it on

Start a family.

Hurry, move along

You might start to think, make a different move

Lose your only mind that you’ve never used anyway

Walk on the white line.

Brainwashed

Walk on the same side.

Brain dead

It’s secure and safe like you need it all to be

Plugged in, tuned out

We all need to wake up 'cause we’ve been

Detached for too long

We need to deprogram from

Shifting with the public eye

We have a right to question why

See through the lies

Re-sensitize, and look closer

And look closer in

(They live) wide awake, fully aware

(We sleep) on a quest to find out where

(They live) the dream turned into a scare

(We sleep) a fascinating new nightmare

(They live) wide awake, fully aware

(We sleep) on a quest to find out where

(They live) the dream turned into a scare

(We sleep) a fascinating new nightmare

Walk on the white line.

Brainwashed

Walk on the same side.

Brain dead

It’s secure and safe like you need it all…

They want benign complacency

This is where we start to look closer

Plugged in, tuned out, wake up

Plugged in, tuned out, wake up

Plugged in, tuned out

We all need to wake up 'cause we’ve been

Detached for too long

We need to deprogram from

Shifting with the public eye

We have a right to question why

See through the lies

Re-sensitize, and look closer

Now, now look closer
